does anyone know the parts number or size of the bleeder bolts that come w/ the complete MK4 front calipers? i'm looking to replace them with speed bleeders, but apparently ordered the wrong length from Summit. Also, does anyone know if the upgraded rear disk brakes have the same size bleeder? mine are still on backorder.

I just went through this for my setup for Russell bleeders, I have GT brakes all around, 2 piston up front and varga 1 piston in the rear. For my setup and caliper years the thread was 10mm x 1.0 in both front and rear with 35mm length up front and 33mm length in the rear. It can vary slightly between the years though (there’s an sae thread that pops in for a few years) so take a look at the below link to confirm for your setup before you order anything. I bought mine from amazon but cj pony has them too.

The front calipers were the 11" GT brakes that came with the kit and the rear are the standard varga's for the 94+ which i believe are the same for the GT and Cobra models.

FYI - they’re awesome

FYI, Dan from FF tells me that the fronts on the complete kit are 01' Mustang GT calipers and upgraded rear disk brakes are 87-88' thunderbird calipers.
